Causes of infant food accumulation and constipation

If a child has food accumulation and constipation, their appetite is usually poor. In this case, do not force the child to eat, but appropriately reduce the amount of food offered. Let the child eat as much as they want. If food accumulation is severe, it's acceptable for the child to skip a few meals. For children with food buildup and constipation, try to provide more liquid-based foods, which are easier for the intestines to digest and place less burden on the gastrointestinal system, helping to relieve symptoms of food accumulation and constipation. Food buildup in constipated children can also be alleviated through gentle massage, typically by massaging the lower abdomen in a clockwise direction. Parents can use their hands to massage the baby's navel area clockwise for 15 minutes, which helps accelerate gastrointestinal motility, promote digestion, aid bowel movements, and effectively improve food accumulation and constipation issues.
